Has anyone ever watched the Channel 4 TV series ‘Undercover Boss’? If you haven’t, the general gist of the programme involves following the owner of a failing company, who dresses up, gets down from their ivory tower and works alongside those who are made out to be the ‘worker ants’ – the everyday employees. This is all done in secret, of course. A TV camera films the manager, who poses as a trainee or somebody looking for work.
Channel 4 have been running the show for a while now, and every time the worker ants are told at the end of the series that it was all a setup. They seem overwhelmed with surprise. They’re a bit thick, aren’t they? How may TV series have you watched, involving a trainee starting a new job? From memory, none. How many follow the ‘big boss man’ pretending to be a trainee? Errr… one – Undercover Boss! Therefore, if you are ever asked to take part in a television documentary, helping a new starter at your work, just cut to the chase – pull their wig and fake mustache off, shout at them for being forced to work in a shithole and not getting a pay rise for five years, before asking for a free family holiday to Bognor Regis. Of course, there’s a first time for everything, and by following my advice, you could end up assaulting a trainee in front of Channel 4’s TV cameras.

Channel Four recently showed a documentary on people who go dogging. I only realised it had been on, when I noticed social media had gone into meltdown over the programme's content and the individuals who took part in it.
Being the inquisitive type, I downloaded the documentary - which had been given the rather witty name,... - Uproar In A Bed
I'm a little late to the party with this blog post, considering it is about a bit of telly from last week.
The TV show I am referring to is Four in a Bed. If you have never seen this programme before, you are missing out.

With all these British comedies being withdrawn from television schedules and streaming services, due to historical instances of racism, I am hoping that the BBC will shortly be removing Mrs. Brown's Boys.
As far as I am aware, the series has never been accused of being racially offensive. I just want it gone because it's shit.

I am sure that everyone knows the legend of Robin Hood - whether it be Prince of Thieves, the Walt Disney adaptation, or Men in Tights.
It therefore needs no introduction to the fact that he is said to have taken from the rich to give to the poor.
